Green Home Book Club: Let's Get Started

We have the book! Borrowed it from a very generous friend, and now we're ready to read.

However, we sensed a little hesitation last week, so we thought we'd give everyone one more week to get their hands on Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.

And, we have a couple of ideas ...

Although we did advocate for buying from a local book store, we must mention that AVM is on sale right now at Amazon.com for $17.79. There are also 90 used copies for sale from $14.99 (always a green choice).

And, don't forget, AVM is quite the bestseller -- why not send a mass email to your friends and colleagues and see if anyone has a copy to loan? That is essentially what we did.

And, now, a little of the logistics:

• The book club will officially begin on the AT: Green Home site on November 19, with a discussion post that relates to the first chapter of the book, "Called Home."

• Every Monday there will be a new discussion post (as most of us get the majority of our reading done over the weekend).

• Feel free to read at your own speed; however, at the end of each Monday discussion post there will be a suggested page to reach by the next Monday. We'll start slow, be as flexible as we need to be, and see what works as we move through the book.

• Everyone is welcome to join the discussion! Whether you're reading the book, read it a few months ago, or just have an opinion on the subject matter.
